[/QUOTE]please make sense You just typed the word "nature" and you live in a modern society that means modern societies do have a word for nature and it does not mean god. In fact the word was invented to make a separation between the material world and the spiritual world ________________________________ [b]nature[/b] [ney-cher] [i]noun[/i] 1. the material world, especially as surrounding humankind and existing independently of human activities. 2. the natural world as it exists without human beings or civilization: [i]In nature, wild dogs hunt in packs.[/i] 3. the elements of the natural world, as mountains, trees, animals, or rivers: [i]The abandoned power plant was reclaimed by nature, covered in overgrowth and home to feral animals.[/i] ________________________________________________ [b]god[/b] [i]noun[/i] 1. a supreme being who created, rules and watches over the universe 2. an intelligent and powerful being who rules over a natural force or animal _________________________________________ therefore an atheist could acknowledge nature forces such as gravity, wind, earthquakes but not attribute them god. If someone was struck dead by a bolt of lightening and theist would say it was a random natural event. A religious person might say that it was a personal judgement made on that person by a god Here is a list of some Egyptians myths. Is each one just intended as a make believe teaching tool demonstrating natural science? http://www.egyptianmyths.net/section-myths.htm . [/qb][/QUOTE]Again Modern societies still have no word for "nature" because the word "nature" simply means god. unless you can prove through another etymology your argument is debunked you need to find a different word besides "Nature" to prove your point Another fun fact ancient societies have no word for "god" Deus actually means "celestial" or "shining" not god Neter means renovation so this goes to show you that actually Greece and Egypt had no concept of god based on the etymology of the word for god [/qb][/QUOTE]Mdu Ntr means the word of god or "gods essence" or "gods creation" which = nature. All of the various deities in AE are called Ntru or "forces of nature" or "emanations of the divine". What is meant is not that Air blowing is god or rain falling, what it means is that the CONCEPT of air and the CONCEPT of water as building blocks of the universe and the chemical reactions within nature all come from a higher power or creative force that put everything in motion and in reality EVERYTHING is gods essence including human nature. The Neteru are simply the "children" of the ultimate creative force as manifestations in the physical universe of the ultimate creative and organizing principle behind all physical existence. Nature is the essence or manifestation of gods will. Egyptian art and Mdu Ntr are a symbolic form of "gods essence" or "nature" where they try and convey this understanding of nature = manifestation of gods will. Likewise, the Pharaoh upon being crowned became "born of the gods" and hence the living representative of the god or "divine" or 'deity' or divine forces in the flesh as a ntr and living representative of Maat. This is the origin of the immaculate conception in Christianity. There are numerous references to this in various books of Egyptologists.
